Devil May Cry 4 gets anime filled special edition

As is the case with a lot of the big budget games being released now, Capcom announced the forthcoming Devil May Cry 4 will also be getting the Special Edition treatment.

If you don’t mind finding the US$79.99 you need to buy the Special Edition on PS3 or Xbox 360, then you will benefit by getting the first four episodes of the new Devil May Cry anime series, a DVD of how it was made, and a digital art book.

I won’t spend the extra money on a Special Edition of a game unless there is something really worthwhile and collectible being offered. In this case, the first four episodes of the anime series and an art book are quite a tempting offer if you were expecting to buy the anime series anyway. Typically anime series put four episodes per disc, so if you take into account how much the separate anime discs would cost plus the art book it probably isn’t that bad of a deal.

Devil May Cry 4 will be released on February 5 across the U.S. and Europe.
